I recently got a copy of Tron 2.0 for my PC, and have become disgustingly addicted to it. I know there's SEVERAL quality Lightcycle copies out there, for every OS on the planet, and I was hoping that someone either already had, or was working to bring Tron's Lightcycles to the Tablet?

The controls are there, you really only need a d-pad for the whole thing, and online/bluetooth multiplayer would be the $hit. Anyone up for it?

Armagetron. Open source. Ported to lots of things already. Get to work.

You can play TRON in xmame, and KDE has ktron


EDIT
and now that you mention it, it is quite addicting

Does that mean you will port it then, eh?

I agree. Armagetron must be ported to maemo. But I don't know how difficult it would be. So, I'm not really asking, but dreaming.

Forget about straight ports of Opengl games like armagetron.

NeoStrider has been working on a tron game and 3d engine for it for a long time. They are called 'bzk' and 'angstron'.

It's poking along at 2-3 fps right now though, and the camera view makes it hard to play. In my opinion, he should rearrange some priorities to produce a playable Tron game in 2008. Implement pixel doubling. Discard texture mapping. Could easily get up to 12+ fps that way. Then he could work on camera movement and gameplay and have a decently little Tron clone.

There are a number of 2D tron clones that would work though.

I'd love to except that I cannot code my way out of a wet paper bag.
Unless the bag understands sed/awk. I can do sed/awk!

This is the one I always use to get out of a paper bag. Those things can be quite troublesome, especially if you have nothing to wet it down with.

echo "wet down bag" | awk -F "down" '{print $2}' | sed 's/bag/rip bag/' | sed 's/rip/run out of/'

darn paper bags!!
